Transitioning to solar is a choice thousands of people are making in the quest for sustainable living and reducing their carbon footprint.
Not only does solar help the environment but it also offers significant savings on energy bills.
However, choosing the right solar system for your home involves considerations beyond just the size of your roof.
Let's talk about the world of solar energy and discover how to select the perfect system tailored to your home’s size, energy requirements and more.
Assessing your needs
Before diving into solar options, it's crucial to understand your household's energy consumption. Looking at your past utility bills can help you to gauge your average energy usage.
Consider appliances as well as lighting and future additions like electric vehicles. This information will be the foundation for determining the size of the solar system you need.
Understanding solar
Our fully installed solar systems consist of solar panels, inverters, batteries (if opting for storage), and a monitoring system.
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, inverters transform the generated DC power into AC power usable by your home, and batteries store excess energy for later use.
Researching these components can help you understand their functions and help you to make an informed decision when purchasing solar.
Size matters
The size of your solar system depends on your energy needs and the available roof space. A general rule is that one kilowatt (kW) of solar panels can generate about 800 kWh per year.
Our team of Energy Surveyors assess your roof's orientation, tilt, and shading to optimize sunlight exposure.
Additionally, consider the aesthetics – the balance between efficiency and visual appeal. Solar can be a beautiful addition to your home, and what’s more, it can add value to your home should you ever wish to sell.
Quality matters
Investing in high-quality solar panels and components ensures the longevity and efficiency of your system.
We stock only top tier solar brands, such as Trina and Fox ESS, reputable for their dedication to sustainable solutions and reliable products, and we can help you make the right decision for your needs.
Storage solutions
If you want to make the most of your solar system and maximize energy independence, consider adding a battery storage system. This allows you to store excess energy generated during the day for use during periods of low sunlight or high energy demand, such as early mornings or evenings.
Next steps...
Embracing solar energy is a rewarding journey that combines environmental consciousness with economic savings.
Understanding solar can help you confidently choose the perfect system for your home - but don’t worry, we’re right here to help you do that. So, what are you waiting for?
Invest in your home, your future, and a brighter, more sustainable world.
